The Korean Grand Prix well and truly opened up the title race with only two races to go. First Championship leader Mark Webber spun out meaning Vettel would take the lead in the standings if he went on to take the chequered flag. But he then went on to suffer an engine failure meaning Fernando Alonso took the chequered flag and the lead in the Championship standings. Button looks well out of contention now after only managing twelfth, here's the result in full:
1. Alonso (Ferrari), 2. Hamilton (McLaren), 3. Massa (Ferrari), 4. Schumacher (Mercedes), 5. Kubica (Renault), 6. Liuzzi (Force India), 7. Barrichello (Williams), 8. Kobayashi (Sauber), 9. Heidfeld (Sauber), 10. Hulkenberg (Williams), 11. Alguersuari (Toro Rosso), 12. Button (McLaren), 13. Kovalainen (Lotus), 14. Senna (Hispania), 15. Yamamoto (Hispania) Retired: Sutil (Force India), Vettel (Red Bull), Petrov (Renault), Glock (Virign), Buemi (Toro Rosso), Di Grassi (Virgin), Trulli (Lotus), Rosberg (Mercedes), Webber (Red Bull)
This leaves Alonso on 231 points, eleven points ahead of Webber who's on 220. Hamilton is now third on 210 with Vettel in fourth on 206. Red Bull still lead the Constructors' Championship on 426 points but McLaren have closed the gap to 399.
